BC’s museum of rural life. Near the junction of the Harrison and Fraser Rivers, the Kilby Historic Site stands as the only reminder of the once thriving community of Harrison Mills. 1906 General Store Museum has a fascinating gallery of product packaging dating back to the 1920s and 1930s. The heritage post office and Manchester House Hotel were an integral part of the Harrison Mills community at the turn of the 20th century.

The 1893 Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) stationhouse has been transformed into a museum of Agassiz and of CPR history. The quantity and quality of artifacts, in such a small space, is astounding. If the friendly and widely knowledgeable docent Sam is on duty, you are in for a treat. The front desk has maps and brochures for many attractions in the area. The caboose and tiny train car outside are also interesting.
